Bodyguard

At that moment, Qin Guan strode over to the Netherworld Dog and said earnestly, "Dog Brother, as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I still have plenty of Chaos Qi. I'll take care of that injured leg and the rest of your wounds. Once you're better, we'll go get revenge on that old man!"

"Get revenge on that old man? Are you crazy? Do you know how strong he is? Even at my peak, I couldn't withstand a single sword strike from him!" the Netherworld Dog said gravely.

"Is that old man really that strong?" Qin Guan scratched his head.

The Netherworld Dog looked at Qin Guan disdainfully. "No wonder that old man can't stand you. You really are an idiot!"

Little Black Tower: "..."

Seeing that the Netherworld Dog had fallen for it, Qin Guan hurriedly sent a telepathic message to Little Black Tower:

"Tower Master, stop undermining me. There's nothing to gain from making this dog my enemy."

Little Black Tower snorted. "Who told you to feed the dog Chaos Qi?"

"If I don't feed it, what if it bites me?"

"You're even better at spinning tales than your Master!" Little Black Tower grumbled.

"I'm not spinning tales. I'm turning an enemy into a friend."

Qin Guan grinned. If he could get the Netherworld Dog to stay by his side, it would make one powerful enforcer.

Little Black Tower stopped responding to Qin Guan.

Qin Guan looked at the Netherworld Dog. "Dog Brother, revenge can wait. We'll have plenty of chances later. Just because we can't beat that old man now doesn't mean we won't be able to someday."

"Keep your voice down. That old man has eyes and ears everywhere. If he finds out we want revenge, he'll beat us to death. Remember, if you want revenge, keep it to yourself and don't go blabbing!" The Netherworld Dog lowered its voice.

"What's there to be afraid of? That old man has already gone back to the Upper Realm. We're the top dogs here!" Qin Guan boasted.

"Damn idiot! Once someone's cultivation reaches a certain level, they might sense even a fart!"

The Netherworld Dog suddenly roared.

Qin Guan hurriedly covered his mouth.

"You..." The Netherworld Dog glanced at Qin Guan, then shook its head and went to squat in a corner.

"If you need to pee, use the latrine on the Second Floor. Otherwise, this master won't mind breaking your other leg!"

Just as the Netherworld Dog was about to relieve itself, Little Black Tower suddenly warned it.

At that, the Netherworld Dog quickly stood up. "I'm not going to the Second Floor. It's no place for a person!"

"You're a dog, not a person," Little Black Tower replied coolly.

The Netherworld Dog grew irritated and scraped its claws across the floor a few times. "I'm not going to the Second Floor. It's no place for a dog!"

"Then get the hell out of here. Don't stay in this tower," Little Black Tower snapped.

At that, the Netherworld Dog hurriedly asked, "You mean it? You're not going to imprison me anymore?"

"Besides, I wasn't the one who broke the seal. Go wherever you want. It's none of my business," Little Black Tower said.

As soon as Little Black Tower finished speaking, the Netherworld Dog suddenly disappeared from inside the tower. The next moment, it appeared in the cultivation room.

Seeing this, Qin Guan hurried outside after it.

"What kind of hellhole is this?" The Netherworld Dog looked around and spoke gravely.

"This is my father-in-law's cultivation room," Qin Guan replied.

"Kid, since you gave me Chaos Qi, want This Dog Lord to help you destroy your father-in-law's place?" The Netherworld Dog looked at Qin Guan.

Qin Guan hurriedly replied, "Dog Brother, absolutely not! My father-in-law's family is related to that old man. They have a wisp of his soul guarding the place!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Hearing Qin Guan's words, the Netherworld Dog shuddered and hurriedly looked around.

"If that wisp of soul weren't here, I'd have run away long ago. But don't worry, it's sealed in my Wife's possession."

At that, the Netherworld Dog let out a sigh of relief. "Looks like we shouldn't linger here."

Seeing that the Netherworld Dog was about to leave, Qin Guan hurriedly said, "Dog Brother, we're in the same boat. Aren't you going to stay and help me?"

"Who's in the same boat as you?" The Netherworld Dog rolled its eyes at Qin Guan and turned toward the door.

A sly smile suddenly curled Qin Guan's lips. "Dog Brother, you're so badly hurt. Without my Chaos Qi, it'll probably take you a long time to recover, right?"

The Netherworld Dog stopped at the door when it heard Qin Guan. It had nearly forgotten about that. Its foundation was damaged, and Sword Qi from that old man still lingered inside it. Without Chaos Qi to help heal it, it might never recover.

Thinking of this, the Netherworld Dog turned to Qin Guan. "You look pretty pitiful, so This Dog Lord will stay and help you for now."

"You really are a loyal and righteous Dog Brother!" Qin Guan grinned.

"Kid, where did you get so much Chaos Qi?" the Netherworld Dog suddenly asked.

"In a Secret Realm," Qin Guan replied.

"A Secret Realm? How much do you have left?" The Netherworld Dog looked at Qin Guan.

"Don't worry, I've still got plenty. Enough to heal your wounds," Qin Guan said with a smile.

This kid isn't ordinary after all. He even managed to get Chaos Qi. He must be blessed with great fortune. The Netherworld Dog glanced at Qin Guan and thought.

"Come on, I'll take you outside to get some fresh air. But you have to keep your Demonic Qi in check so you don't cause a panic." Qin Guan opened the stone door to the cultivation room.

The Netherworld Dog nodded. After being imprisoned for over five hundred years, it couldn't wait to get out and see the beautiful world.

As it walked out of the cultivation room, the Netherworld Dog saw the light of day again and breathed in the sweet air.

"Five hundred years! Five hundred years! This Dog Lord is finally out!" The Netherworld Dog inhaled deeply, overwhelmed with excitement, and two streams of tears suddenly slid from the corners of its eyes.
